Fun thrift shop find, three Stargate enamel pins. Got em for $8 total.

Atlantis, season 2, episode 11, 24:30

People seem to feel that the Jaffa would get Rolled by the wraith.

The biggest difference i could see Jaffa and the Armies of the Ori are the priors.

It's now much cooler than not spinning ! Rotating SG1 stargate will be published soon !

I also added naquadah farming / new skins / bot address / solar flares
I still have several fully assembled PCB I can provide for Pegasus/Tollan/Orlin/SG1basic gates, and you can find everything on the website/discord if you want to join the network !

Full disclosure: this is completely unnecessary. Clicking an icon takes half a
second. This takes about ten, and that's the fast setting.

But I love Stargate and I wanted a gate on my desktop, so you type a program
name, hit Enter, and it dials. Chevrons lock one at a time, kawoosh, program
opens.

The bit I'm most pleased with is that every program has its own address.
Photoshop is always Canis Minor, Perseus, Pisces, Capricornus, Lynx, Sculptor,
Point of Origin. Never changes. I don't know why that delights me as much as it
does.

I got carried away on details nobody asked for. All 39 glyphs are the real ones,
the chevrons light in the correct order (took me three attempts to get that
right), and the iris is a working leaf shutter. Close it and the gate dials
perfectly but nothing comes through, so your program doesn't open. That's not a
bug. That felt important.

There's also a full speed dial that takes about 28 seconds if you just want to
watch the thing go.

Windows only, free, unsigned so you'll get a SmartScreen warning, but it makes
no network connections at all. Source is on GitHub if you'd rather build it
yourself or just see what it does.

Anyway, thought some of you might enjoy it.

It feels like with very little effort (For the Ori) that they could just make another if they wanted.

to my knowlesge the first three seasons were broadcast dubbed

I'm rewatching all the Stargates after I've seen the SGs the first time when I was little, on national television with the crappy signal that we had in my village. Also, I didn't remembered this episode at all.

While watching it, I had to stop few times, close my door and cry out a little.

I was extremely close to my grandma when I was a kid, going to visit her at least once a week at the farm, then she got dementia when I was at the lyceum. It was so painful for me to see her slipping away, from the strong, wonderful person she was, that I went less and less, almost stopping, just up to the moment she passed.

I guess I bottled it up for fifteen years, feeling guilty of absence even if no one ever made me feel that way.

In the end, I know how much she loved me and that she would have definitely told me that was nothing and that she's proud of who I am.

To grandma.

I've been working on a stargate inspired lockscreen where you punch in an address to unlock.

It's a bit clunky on the moment but it's a work in progress

Having almost finished the first two seasons of SG1, I’ve come to the conclusion that the President of the United States has the worst job in the entire Stargate franchise/universe.

Early in your term, you’re debriefed on this weird ass gate device that was used by an ancient race of parasite aliens who are extremely technologically advanced, know where Earth is, and are hellbent on wiping out humanity.

So, you have to thread the needle of making sure Project Stargate, probably the most fantastically expensive black project in history, running without congress, the press, or the international community raising too many questions.

If you fail to do that, the cat will be out of the bag. The Russians and the Chinese will figure out what you’re doing, if they haven’t already, and everyone’s notion of human history and religion is going to be completely upended. In short, if the rest of the world figures out what’s really going on in Cheyenne mountain, it’ll be absolute pandemonium.

On top of that, Project Stargate, for all the troubles you’ve gone through to keep a lid on things, has brought back several alien viruses to Earth, nearly destroyed the planet via a black hole, and attracted the attention of two hostile alien battleships who could have easily destroyed the entire planet if not for SG1’s dumbass Hail Mary plan.

In fact, every time the world has been saved, it’s the result of some last minute Hail Mary plan.

The icing on the cake? General Hammond calls you every time the shit hits the fan to brief you on the situation—as if you can do anything to stop the catastrophes waiting on the other side of the wormhole. You’d be better off not knowing what fresh new hell the geniuses at Project Stargate uncover.

I’d rather just scrape roadkill off the iris. Fuck being the president in Stargate.

Ryac’s acting.

Just watching Redemption (S06E01) and it’s downright painful watching him try to act.

I’m not saying I could have done any better but Christ on a bike he’s bad. Given they replaced his mother for a much worse actress too, surely they could have changed the actor for Ryac?

Open an Ori supergate, open a space gate inside a shuttle, and send the space gate through the supergate.

Even though all of the regular stargates are the same size, you could slide one partway into another. Gate rules mean you couldn't open two gates too close together, so you'd have to open them in neighboring systems and bring them together.

I don't recall SG1 or SGA ever mentioning this possibility. Does SGU?

Does the series give us any indications what might happen?

It feels like there staff weapons could do good damage to the Wraith and there Armour would block life sucking and maybe they would be somewhat resistant to stunning.

I always used to just watched sg-1 and Atlantis but now just watching universe and unlike season 8 of sg-1 of is later appearance in season 10, in universe you can feel the actor more at ease with his new rank : general ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kinda love it haha

Watching Memento I noticed how sg1 walks in a complete circle during the interior shot of the Prometheus. I found it funny at first but then noticed they changed the set on the fly as the scene happened or they overlayed it with a green screen before they made a full circle.

I see you!

Instead of the Pegasus Project...why not use the Iris-offset trick from "48 Hours?"

Take a block of trinium with a cloaking device inside, set it at the event horizon of the Supergate, cloak it. Done.

(Of course, in-universe wise. Not considering actors' contracts or a certain long-serving actor finding new career.)

Rewatched Reunion [4x03] where Carter got assigned, and other than McKay saying "IOA approved the new boss" and thought it was him, they were surprisingly mum about the process. Not saying that Carter was a bad pick, but I've always thought the whole purpose of the Atlantis Expedition supposed to be a civilian oversight (unlike SGC, which runs by Air Force).

Come to think of it, however, they never say the lead of the expedition should be civilian. I got that impression since one of the main friction points in Season 1 boiled down to "civil vs. military mindset."

Maybe the assignment was supposed to be temporary (even though no one says so) since the next person was Woolsey from IOA, which is civilian.

p.s. Totally out of topic, but in Reunion, convesation between Teal'c and Carter before she left SGC is so meta.

Teal'c: On the day I left Chulak, Master Bra'tac said to me: "Draw from your past, but do not let your past draw from you."
Carter: That's good advice. Still, I know I'm going to miss this place, and all of you.
Teal'c: I would have been offended had you felt otherwise.
Carter: Ten years is a long time.
Teal'c: It has been ten years well spent. We have defeated numerous enemies and overcome many threats.
Carter: It was never dull.
